DS 3 has outgrown 6+ Nappies

[ElaineFromLondon]

My 3 year old needs nappies because he isn't potty trained yet, he's been in size 6+ for a while but he's completely outgrown them (he had one on yesterday which split immediatley) and can't possibly fit in them anymore, What nappies am I supposed to get now ?

Drynites? Does he show any interest in the potty? Keep getting him to sit on it every 15-20 mins and leave him with no nappy and trousers on during the day so he notices if/when he 'goes'

He doesn't seem to show much interest in the potty, if i'm honest, i'm not sure if he actually understands it's purpose or why he has to use it.

My DD was/is v tall for her age so I had this problem at just over 2! I used extra large pull ups until she potty trained (fortunately for me at 2.5 or I don't know what I would have done).

with my DS the problem is weight, he's very heavy for his age and the 6+ nappies wont fit around his waist.

Drynites will work fine we use them on our 5 year old who wees like an elephant in his sleep

Drynites don't fit him, the 3-5 ones are too small and the 5-8 ones are too big

Could you hem the bigger size in with two strips of duck tape? A real faff I know but that's all I can think of - we used to use strong taoe on Ds1's nappy when he went through a phase of taking them off at night.

DD is 5 with ASD & still in nappies.

Nhs give us Libero size 7 which are also available to buy online here

Tesco's own brand 6+ are quite big as well in emergencies.

I've tried a few different makes, all of which were too small.

I presume you're not trying to make the tabs meet in the middle? I have heard people saying that nappies are too small but it's just that they are trying to do them up at tightly as possible.

I've given up trying to make the tabs meet in the middle, there's no chance of them fitting together around his waist

The ones I linked to upthread should fit.

They are the ones used by children with SN.
